Is Email Guarding a Productive Use of Your Time?

We know your sort!

You want to see every email

They could only for you

Only you can answer them

You think you'll miss out on something (FOMO)

You boast to others about the size of your inbox

You revel in telling everyone how long it's going to take you to clear the backlog

You shout load when you've reached inbox zero

The effect of this madness is massive

It's a non profit making task

It largely wastes your time

It stops you developing new projects

It stops you from income generation

You are an expensive inbox sorter. Have you worked out your hourly rate?

You could have someone sift through - a post person - just like the old days!

You didn't open all the envelopes then did you?

You just need the emails that only you can deal with.

It's a task for your right hand person, your VA, your assistant.

Just do it.
